For the first time this season we have a re-match of last year's NBA finals as the Miami Heat head to Ball Arena for a date with the Denver Nuggets. Both teams are currently on long win streaks, so one of them will have to give here. I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.
Don't forget to also check out our NBA picks page for predictions on the side and total for the rest of Thursday's 8-game slate.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
MIA Heat ML (+166)
There's definitely something different about this Miami Heat team since the All-Star break. They've won all 3 of their games, extending the win streak to 5 in a row. They've covered the spread in 8 straight, including 6 in a row away from home. Tonight they match-up with the team that beat them in the Finals last season and what better motivating factor than that for Jimmy Butler and his teammates. In their last 6 visits to Ball Arena, the Heat are just 1-6 SU, while in the last 11 meetings the Nuggets have beaten them 10 times.
